Hello Lovelies

Soooooooo, we're all friends here right?
You all know about my little cookie monster. Well he's turning 3 this month and we thought it was time we gave him a sibling, hopefully a sister (fingers crossed). The thing is that we've been trying since September and nothing, nada, zip. I'm beginning to wonder if there's something wrong.
You hear about people just looking at each other the wrong way and getting pregnant. I'm 34 and I really don't want to be pregnant past 35 so i'm getting a little anxious. I need a little encouragement yall.

In the meant time, i've taken on our apartment as a new project. It's pretty hard to not have anything major to do after years of planning our wedding.

The plan is to make over the living room, put the dining furniture in there and use the dining room as a playroom for our son. It's hard enough for him living in an apartment without a backyard. Then i'll tackle the bathroom, kitchen and our bedroom. My son's bedroom was completely made over for his birth and i'm always tweaking things here and there, so that's fine. He's now in his big boy bed but his crib is still up in our room.

Notice I said I. The mister has no interest in decor and design. He'll move furniture or go out to buy me something if I ask but really doesn't have any input. The standard response to any question is it looks great. I don't even think he knows what i'm talking about half the time.

Anyways, that's what's happening in my neck of the woods these days. I'll keep you posted.

I think it can defintiely vary for everyone in terms of how long it takes to get pregant, but I've heard that if six months go by without results, that's when it's absolutely time to see a doctor. However, if you're concerned now, I think it's fine to head in to get some professional advice. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything works out the way you hope!

About Me

We are determined not to let our wedding land us in debt so we've decided that our budget will be between $3000 and $5000, not including attire and jewelry. I've read many blogs where so many brides are doing just that and in quite a manageable way. I was never that savvy and crafty before I started planning my wedding and now i'm nothing short of a craft guru. Ok, maybe guru is a little strong, but I'm attempting everything myself since i'm a complete DIYer now. Of course i'll enlist the help of family and friends when it comes down to the wire but for now, i'm well on my way. Wish me luck!

TIFFANY BLUE BRIDE- Can Anyone say blue?

I've always adored turquoise, aqua, teal and every light shade of blue. For anyone who knows me, it was a pretty obvious choice as to what my wedding colors would be.

We decided that our colors would be aqua/tiffany blue and white. Our theme initially started out as butterflies (my other absolute favorite thing) and I was so excited about that but the more I researched aqua or turquoise, the more tiffany came up, so I found myself leaning more into that theme. I may still have a few butterflies in there but nothing too noticeable. so my new theme is the 'Tiffany Blue Box'.

Once we decided on the "Tiffany Blue Box", I decided to add some crystal and silver elements to it to give it a little sparkle.

Most of the time, its pretty hard to find a true tiffany blue - it's called robin's egg, aqua, pool, light turquoise and even sometimes mermaid among other things. I've decided that it doesn't really matter if they're not all the same thing, as long as they're in the same family. I actually think that the different shades make it more interesting.

The bright white will contrast nicely with the various blues, there's going to be just enough bling from the crystals to give it that extra sparkle and small pieces of silver will be spread around for an additional little shiny element.
